Re: Less intuitive nicknames
in reply to a message by peregrine
Jack for Jacqueline. Saw it on the back of an old postcard I found. Addressed to a Jacqueline but called Jack in the letter portion.
I suppose the nicknames of my Polish relatives would not seem intuitive in English but I am not listing them because they ARE intuitive in their language of origin and I don't want to add to how English culture centric this site it. It's so cringe.

Aw, I would so love to know.
Me too! I love names from other cultures and would love to know how nicknames work there.
This thread is about less intuitive nicknames and the ones I am talking about are common as dirt.
Fair enough. Would love a separate thread on them, then!
